Latin GRAMMY Award winner and four-time Parents' Choice® Gold Award recipient Mister G (Ben Gundersheimer) calls upon his musical roots to celebrate children's wonder for the natural world with the release of his ninth album for families, Fireflies.Fireflies marks a return to Mister G's beginnings as a songwriter and musician. The album draws from a rich tapestry of roots influences including folk, bluegrass, soul and vintage country. The music reflects the freedom and excitement of exploring the outdoors in summer, celebrating such iconic pleasures as eating s'mores by the campfire, 4th of July fireworks, paddling a canoe, and family cookouts. Mister G's original songs also encourage children to see themselves as budding eco-activists who are connected to all beings on the planet.
A superstar in the children's music world, known for his eclectic musical tastes spanning genres from bluegrass to bossa nova, Mister G'sdynamic, original music has won praise from The Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Sun-Times, People magazine, New York Post,Parents magazine, and more.
Drawing on his previous career as an adult musician as well as his background as a teacher with a Master of Education degree, Mister G'ssongs are immediately engaging for children, instructors, and parents while seamlessly melding lessons in ecology, creativity, literacy, and multiculturalism.
Moving from the stage and recording studio to the printed page, Mister G recently signed a multi-book deal with Penguin Random House to transform several of his songs into children's picture books. The first of these, Señorita Mariposa, illustrated by Marcos Almada Rivero, will be published in early 2019.
